Workplace Satire: How to Look Smart in Meetings (Originally aired Jan. 9, 2017)

Guest: Sarah Cooper, Stand-Up Comedian, Author of “100 Tricks to Appear Smart in Meetings” Meetings are workplace kryptonite for a lot of us. Ten minutes in, professionalism evaporates – we grimace, fidget, roll our eyes involuntarily anytime someone says, “Let’s take a step back here.” Or “Go back a slide.” Or when the meeting comes to a standstill so two people can check their schedules for the best time to set up another meeting. Each of these pet peeves appears in the book, “100 Tricks to Appear Smart in Meetings.” It’s the satirical work of stand-up comedian Sarah Cooper.
